20. New Shanghai City (Middle)
After listening to Sun Tiejian's report, Zhao Tieyun, as the boss, first said: "The third brother's consideration angle is very unique, but it is very insightful, and I am not as good as the third brother. "Although the third brother's thoughts deviate from the scope of what my father said, they are from our hearts, and from this matter, considering the shortcomings of our clan, we should learn from the third brother's thinking. Qian Tiexin also approved Sun Tiejian's report.
Han Wenzheng said: "Children, what do you think? Do you think your report has any real problems? Have you really thought about what will happen in the next decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years? No, then you should reflect on it, why can't you think of anything yourself?"
Han Wenzheng's words were a bit harsh, but everyone only listened, and what they thought was indeed inferior to the two of them, so there was nothing to say.
Han Wenzheng said: " I didn't want to embarrass you to write a report, you all know that we are about to build a new city at the mouth of the Nianxiang River, a city dedicated to trading with the East China Sea Sea Clan, and I can't go to this new city to manage everything, therefore, I must select a qualified person from among you to manage this city, and this report is your achievement, I will select the new mayor of this city based on your report, now, I appoint Hua Tielei as the mayor of the new Shanghai City, and Sun Tiejian as the head of the garrison department of the new Shanghai, do you have any opinions?”
Only then did everyone understand Han Wenzheng's intentions, yes, the new generation of the Yanhuang clan is very good, but who to choose to serve as the new mayor? What criteria should be used to select it? This is also a question that everyone is concerned about, after all, even Zhao Tieyun wants to serve as the mayor of this new Shanghai, so at the bottom, everyone is working hard, they all want to be able to serve as this mayor, and they all want to do something, but they did not expect that Han Wenzheng will use this method to select the new mayor.
Han Wenzheng said: "Opportunities are always for those who are prepared, you ask yourself, are you ready? Also, are you ready to face all challenges?" Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Han Wenzheng, they had a guilty conscience.
Han Wenzheng didn't say anything more, he believed that these children had already understood, he smiled and said: "Okay, children, you are still young, you have seen few things, and it is normal that many things are not well thought out, but don't have a next time, next time you can't use youth as an excuse, children, we have to discuss the next thing, how do you think the new Shanghai should be built?"
Zhao Tieyun said: "Father, for the new Shanghai, I think it should be built into a comprehensive big city, after all, its location is unique, and there are good development prospects, so we should invest a lot of manpower and material resources to build a large-scale, fully functional city." ”
Li Tiefei said: "Father, for the new Shanghai, I think we can just focus on trade, the goal there is to become a transit point, and it is also a place for us to trade with the Sea Clan, and we currently have limited manpower, and we don't need to build a huge city, which is not in line with our strategic goals." ”
Everyone has their own opinions, in fact, there are two ways to sum up, one is to build a big city, and the other is not to invest too many resources, which is not needed at present.
Han Wenzheng said: "Tie Lei, you are the mayor of the future city, what is your opinion?" Hua Tielei said: "Father, as far as I am concerned, since I have been appointed by my father as the mayor of the new Shanghai, then I naturally want to build the new Shanghai into a huge comprehensive city, but for the time being, we can build it into a small city." ”
Han Wenzheng shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Children, I understand your thoughts, but you haven't thought about it comprehensively. "Father, please. "A city is the center of a region, and if you want to develop into a big city, it is not an easy task. Resources and other aspects of the synthesis, it is certain that the new Shanghai has the transportation potential to become a big city, and in terms of resources, we have not been examined in detail, so I also say that it is not good, but I think that the resources should also be there, that is to say, the new Shanghai can become a big city, even a megacity, and we are to build the new Shanghai into a megacity. ”
Zhao Tieyun said: "Father, the manpower and material resources invested may be very amazing?" "Yes, it is very amazing, all kinds of resources will be invested very much, but my goal will not change, there are three reasons. "Father, please. ”
Han Wenzheng said: "A city has various functions such as a political city, a cultural city, a transportation center, an industrial center, a commercial center, and so on. The new Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Nianxiang River, the traffic is very convenient, it is certain that there will be a traffic conversion center, become the transportation center of our Yanhuang people in the next thousand years or even thousands of years, moreover, with this transportation center, all the basin areas along the Nianxiang River will be included in our development scope, this alone, the new Shanghai should be built larger. This one is indeed right, and everyone thinks about it for a while and expresses their support.
Han Wenzheng said again: "The second point is that we are going to the West Continent in the future, and if we want to go to the West Continent, we must need ships, so we need a strong shipbuilding center, and the new Shanghai City just has this condition, so I plan to build the new Shanghai into the largest shipbuilding center, so that the new Shanghai must be built larger, otherwise, it will not be able to accommodate too much industry." ”
Everyone understands that a shipbuilding center is not so easy to build, it needs a large number of various resources and all kinds of supporting factories, as well as countless personnel to serve it, it can be said that the shipbuilding industry alone is enough to support a huge city, plus the new Shanghai will also be built into a huge seaport, in this way, it is impossible not to build a big city, it is certain that the new Shanghai will become an open door to the Yan and Huang people, which of course has to be built bigger.
However, Sun Tiejian asked: "Father, we don't need a lot of ships at the moment, and it seems a bit of a waste to build a large shipbuilding center?" Don't waste it, iron sword, think about it, we still need to go to sea to fish and other ships, as well as all kinds of cargo holds and other ships, although Yanhuangcheng here is also enough resources to build a shipbuilding center, but I don't plan to put the shipbuilding center in Yanhuangcheng, because after all, this is an administrative center, and it is not suitable to become an industrial center, so the relocation of the shipbuilding industry is imperative, and I think that one is not to build, one is to build a larger, so as not to come to dozens of expansions in the future, more troubles。 This is what Han Wenzheng has always thought, one is not to do it, and once it is done, it will be bigger.
There was no opinion, Han Wenzheng said again: "We are the Yanhuang tribe, a powerful race that overwhelms the sea tribe, so we can't be stingy in doing things, so as not to make people look down on them, so the new Shanghai will inevitably be built into a city that amazes the East China Sea tribe, and build a city that they envy to the extreme, so that the new Shanghai will easily become a new commercial city." ”
With these three reasons, everyone felt that it should be built into a big city, and there was no doubt about it, but a new question arose: what kind of construction style should this new Shanghai city use, and should it be surrounded by walls like ancient Chinese cities?
This one is a big problem. The city wall is very fragile in ancient times without the protection of the city wall, while the ancient Chinese city wall is very strong, there are many ancient city walls that have not fallen for thousands of years, but the new Shanghai needs the protection of the city wall?
From a security point of view, I am afraid that there is no possibility of a large-scale attack on New Shanghai in three thousand years, if it is a threat from the Western Continent, it is pure nonsense, and in New Shanghai, the protection of the Iron Armored Turtle Clan led by Xuanhai is still alive, it is the Xuanwu Clan, the Xuanwu Clan is born with the supreme in the water, coupled with the prestige of Xuanhai in the East China Sea, and what race from the East China Sea dares to invade New Shanghai? That is definitely an act of looking for death, so the addition of a city wall to the new city is purely superfluous and has no military value. But does a city without walls still seem like an ancient city in China?
It is safe to say that the modern big cities do not have the slightest traditional characteristics of the Yanhuang people, and this is also artificial, but the things of the Yanhuang people do not have the traditional characteristics of the Yanhuang people, so is it still the things of the Yanhuang people? From this point of view, the city wall must be built.
Besides, it is not easy to build a city wall, which consumes a lot of materials, and this time, the people are divided into two factions, and they are at odds with each other, one to build and the other not to build.
Han Wenzheng said: "Children, your advice is very good, do you want to build a city wall? There is no doubt that building the city wall is indeed the ancient tradition of our Yanhuang people, but this tradition is no longer useful today, we must also keep pace with the times, and sometimes we have to give up without the meaning of the tradition, and don't always let the set of our ancestors bind us. Of course, I'm not saying that we don't want the set of our ancestors, we still inherit the good things in the set of our ancestors, not only to inherit, but also to carry forward, but for those things that are no longer suitable, we should still give up what should be discarded. ”
However, Han Wenzheng changed his words and said: "Children, although the safety of the new Shanghai does not need to be considered too much, what should be considered is still to be considered, and we should think about it a little deeper, if we only build a new Shanghai city, we should not consider building a city wall, so should we build a city wall when we want to build a city in the future? For example, if we go to the Western Continent and buy a piece of land to build a new city, should we build a city wall?" Therefore, the construction of the city wall itself is not important, the important thing is how to improve the defense of the city, after all, we still have to face many wars in the future, so I think that the new Shanghai can be used as a pilot to build the city wall, but we must find a way to strengthen the city wall, to the point that no external force can destroy it, which will be used as a reference for us in the future. "It still has to be built.
